Maritime Chapter Resources

Faculty hired primarily due to their maritime background and license may be expected to perform duties and responsibilities not normally associated with traditional classroom teaching.These duties include sailing as merchant officers on the training vessels under the auspices of their license and ensuring the safe and professional operation of the training vessels both during the annual training cruise as well as during the academic year.

The purposes of this Chapter shall be to defend and promote academic freedom, tenure, due process, and shared governance; to protect and advance the professional and economic interests of academic professionals; to promote the standards, ideals, usefulness, and welfare of the profession; and to facilitate the purposes, objectives, and programs of the state-wide California Faculty Association at the local level.
